How to get from Zaysan to Urzhar: travel options

There is no direct flight on this route: Zaysan airport does not operate scheduled services, so you cannot board a plane in Zaysan itself.

A partly airborne option is still possible: Urzhar is served from Almaty by SCAT Airlines and from Astana by Vietjet Qazaqstan (summer season), while travellers from the Zaysan area usually reach those cities by road or through Ust-Kamenogorsk airport.

In practice people travel between Zaysan and Urzhar overland: both places lie in the east of the country and the road remains the main link. Flying is worth considering mainly when the trip is combined with a departure to Almaty, Astana or another large city.
